I was told during an extremely tedious joke during a pantomime that the world wide web was the thing you through the keyboard into while shouting "In-to-net!"

The Internet was invented by the Americans.

I knew as soon as I said it, you'd say this lol.

Saw it in 3D. Pretty damn impressive,with some quite brilliant elements.. Terrific spectacle and a celebration of Britain. Loved the tributes to popular music. Didn't even mind Mr Bean .Wish old vinegar tits had stayed home (HM The Queen) At least the rest of the royal shower looked as if it was enjoying itself.

All I can say in summary is that it came close to the standard set by the Sydney 2000 games. Wink Shades

I was in the pub when it was on, so I only saw parts of it, but the parts I did see were fine. I'm sure I could go on and on at certain things, but that would just be my Scottish ways trying to piss on an English event. Tongue It did seem good though.

I thought i'd hate it as i hate most ceremonies, but it was pretty good. I liked the Tim Berners-Lee bit too, man is a living legend.

Have noticed a lot on the internet of people saying it was rubbish. But i don't think they got it.

Wish I'd stayed up for all of it but the marching in part put me out. Woke up for the lighting of the caldron and a couple songs by Paul McCartney. (Big fan of British pop music.) Then I saw recap footage of enough parts to wish I'd seen it all. I'll have to look for the Beans bit on youtube. From what I saw, I'd give it the highest rating. Direct comparisons are no good and I don't much remember other ones other than being impressed last time with the Chinese.

Gotta be honest the ceremony should of just ended as the cauldron was lit.

Paul McCartney coming out afterwards was a load of shit. He's past it, and it just seemed so out of place. Half the crowd got bored of singing along half way through too. Just seemed massively unnecessary.
